[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are both in their 70s and I’ve noticed it getting so much worse in the years since they’ve retired. She nit picks everything he does, from how many cups of coffee he’s “allowed” in the morning (zero health issues), to how much TV he watches during the day, and what he watches. Meanwhile, she runs around the house and town pursuing her own hobbies and interests with reckless abandon. I can’t figure out why she cares so much about what he does with his time. It’s the strangest thing.

What prompted me to post this was us offering up the usage of our HBOMax subscription. My mom immediately shut it down because she didn’t want my dad having more access to more content. But why does she care what he does when she runs off with her girlfriends? And before you ask, they do plenty together, so these small obsessions of hers don’t make sense. What does it supply her with?[/quote]

Nit picks what exactly? 
He’s dumping coffee, leaving dirty mugs around, the living room has garbage in it, the house has major deferred maintenance issues? 
He still doesn’t pick up after himself? [/quote]
